Please include "Category" and "Web Page" (URL) attributes in app list template files (Home-Updater-App-List-nnn-App.json) exported by Home Updater in addition to the existing attributes (Name, isPortable, isArm, Version, Vendor, IconURL). These two additional attributes are already accessible in the Home Updater client GUI but the data is not exportable. If there are other attributes of a library app that would be useful (e.g., installer type, such as EXE-x64), consider adding them too.
Exporting these additional attributes would greatly simplify and reduce the manual effort required to generate Excel worksheets for new releases of the App Library used to check and analyze the contents of the library and to collect and track change history of the Library.
Also consider adding an option to export the app list data as .csv file in addition to the existing .json format.
Note: An app list exported by Home Updater on an x86-based device will not identify any apps applicable to ARM-based devices. I recommend supplementing the existing list of 570 supported apps on the Home Updater web page with the addition of a downloadable .csv file which distinguishes between x86 and ARM architectures, similar to the downloadable "Supported Products" .csv files provided for enterprise PMPC (e.g., PMPC Cloud) at: https://patchmypc.com/supported-products/
